EVERLASTING SLAB MAT 


Ni OE AE A 
ri 


Vitrolite slabs in varying sizes are “‘set’’ over any wall 

surfacing by means of a patented elastic cement that 

clings to the wall. This cement adjusts itself to settling, 
shrinkage or expansion, and absorbs shocks. 


ITROLITE 1s a material fire-fused from those minerals 

that form nature’s hardest rock. It is manufactured in 
pure white, jet black, and colors, in slabs ranging in size up- 
wards to 40x 84, and in thickness from %, to 1 inch. These 
slabs are used for wall finishing and industrial material, and 
for tops of tables and other fixtures. 


Vitrolite appeals to every one because of its obvious 
cleanliness. Its perfectly smooth surtace is impossible to stain 
even with inorganic acids. There is nothing about it to hold 
odors or breed bacteria. It is easy to clean and keep clean; in 
fact, the stroke of a damp cloth is all that is ever necessary. 


Unlike other materials used for structural surfacing, it 
will always remain in its perfect condition, never crazing or 
discoloring. It is fireproof, and although as hard as flint, will 
not crack if quickly heated or chilled. 


The Urtrolite Company has organized sales and 


installation organizations 
all over the world. These agencies are comprised of factory-trained work- 
men who understand the material and handle it without waste or experi- 
ment. Each organization has its own shop where Vitrolite is cut and 
ground to fit. The whole country is within a short distance of some one 
such construction company.and will be quickly and expertly served by it.

| How clean all food appears displayed upon Vitrolite—how assuring it is that equally cleanly methods have been 
employed in the kitchens! That is why cafeterias have for years used Vitrolite widely—not only on counters, but on 
walls and ceilings and for table tops.

HE sketch diagrams shown above illus- 

trate in progressive order a few of the 
many ways in which Vitrolite may be used 
for interior walls. Vitrolite slabs, unlike tile 
or marble, are not limited to standard sizes. 
They are cut to order for every variety of 
requirement. From the simplest wainscot 
to the most elaborate decorative scheme 
there is a way of using Vitrolite. Any kind 
of bonding effect is possible. It serves for 
base, panels, borders, pilasters or frieze, in 
fact, any architectural member may be 


successfully ‘expressed ant =Vitrolite: 
While these sketches show only plain wall 
arrangements in white, Vitrolite 1s available 
in black and colors, and may be decorated by 
our special processes in any desired color ef- 
fect or style. It requires only a little use of 
the imagination to visualize the many effec- 
tive combinations that may thus be secured, 
a few of which are shown on another page. 
The Vitrolite Co. maintains an Art Depart- 
ment to develop the decorative possibilities of 
Vitrolite, whose services are at your disposal.

The preference for Vitrolite that has for many years prevailed among operators of eating places, has found a new 
impetus in the introduction of decorated Vitrolite. It has especially reflected itself in the large number of installations 
of Vitrolite as wall and ceiling material.

Kitchen of Clark’s Restaurant, Cleveland, Ohio. Fumes and grease cannot affect those glistening surfaces of Vitrolite. 


VITROLITE KITCHENS INVITE INSPECTION 


O the restaurant kitchen Vitrolite brings 

quick cleanability and sanitation far 
beyond the experience of those otherwise 
equipped. Its perfectly smooth, hard, non- 
porous surface is entirely impervious to 
grease, soot or fumes, and food particles can- 
not cling to it beyond the power of a damp 
cloth to remove by a mere stroke. 

Finer hotels and restaurants use Vitrolite 
on walls and ceilings and for table tops and 
shelves. The latter use is common even in 
kitchens not entirely modern in equipment. 
For Vitrolite provides a perfect working sur- 


face for all the kitchen tasks, as it can be 
kept perfectly clean, and because extreme 
temperatures cannot harm it or knives and 
utensils scar it. 

The great advantage of the incomparably 
swift cleanability of Vitrolite must be imme- 
diately appreciated by all engaged in hotel or 
restaurant business. 

Vitrolite is also very popular for walls and 
ceilings of refrigerating rooms, on account of 
its 1mperviousness to moisture and odors. It 
is also widely used for serving room tables 
and shelves, and for sink drains and backs.
